A new Cushlon midsole increases cushioning. The outsole in both the men's and women's shoe has changed, with deeper flex-grooves taken from the Nike Free ('barefoot') range for a better toe-off (the women's model is designed for her more flexible foot). The midfoot fit-strap has been removed to improve breathability and comfort in the upper. The shoe is also Nike+ compatible now. Though the cushioning is a bit thick and solid, high-mileage runners enjoyed it. Forefoot feel is especially good, with a plush landing. The grooved outsole gives a responsive, natural-feeling ride. Our wear-testers say: "I liked the cushioning, flexibility and traction. They become part of your foot; a great sign." - Richard Aghoghogbe
